Album Review: Various Artists – No New York, Compilation (1978) 2008-05-26 11:24:00 No New York
is the famous compilation produced by endlessly talented Brian Eno which documents the New York post-punk/noise movement known as “No Wave”. “No Wave” of course is an artistic rejection of the glam-rock inspired new wave movement at the time. That Eno’s early career was considered glam-rock only helps to show how board his artistic appreciation Read more:Album

Track of the Day No.3 2008-05-25 18:41:00 Quasi - "I Don't Know You Anymore" from When The Going Gets Dark (2006) When The Going Gets Dark is a good Quasi album, but "I Don't Know You Anymore" is a great Quasi song hopefully destined for future Best-Of releases. It has that signature slightly sinister rhythm that has served them well in the past (most notably on the creepy opening title track from Hot Shit [2003]) but with a great strang Read more:Track

Album Review: The Free Design - You Could Be Born Again (1968) 2008-05-21 21:18:00 You Could Be Born Again
, released in 1968 is the second album by The Free Design. The group was a family act, all were members of the Dedrick family. Despite the title, this is no Christian rock album, this is a moving blend of 60’s pop, jazz rhythms and amazing multi-part vocal harmonies. I first became aware of the Free Design when Stereolab named a song and an EP after the group in 1999 (grea Read more:Album

New Site Name Pending 2008-05-20 00:12:00 I knew it was too good to be true. Rebellious Jukebox already exists in the form of www.rebelliousjukebox.org which is explained via a quote from their site below. Of course this site takes it's from the same Fall song (I would assume from the description on their site) and even somehow releases things by the Fall. I'm not quite sure but check it out for yourself. Needless to say I'm shopping for Read more:New Site
Track of the Day No.2 2008-05-19 12:21:00 The Chills - "Soft Bomb" from Soft Bomb (1992)I'm hooked on The Chills now and "Soft Bomb" is to blame. The song has an amazing build of energy that begins with the first few jangly guitar notes growing closer and louder as the song fades in. First singer Martin Phillips introduces the addictive melody with brilliant lyrics: "If you'd asked me at a concert standing by The CleanI'd have said I'm ok Read more:Track
Track of the Day No.1 2008-05-19 11:50:00 Steve Reich - "Pulses" from Music for 18 Musicians (1978)This is the opening track of Steve Reich's minimalist/experimental masterpiece from 1978. When I first heard this piece I was under the impression that the album title was simply "Music for Musicians". Without that crucial 18 in the title I thought that this music was made by just a few people, after discovering it was an arrangement compose Read more:Track
About Album and Track Reviews 2008-05-19 11:38:00 Something I think I'll be doing frequently on the site is discussing what I'm listening to recently. This come in the form of both album reviews, of new and old releases, as well as analyzing individual "Songs of the Day". Like the album reviews, track reviews will be of both new and old artists and releases, but don't worry I will always provide the original publishing year of any album or song I Read more:Album

Strange Names 2008-05-17 20:51:00 So here's an explanation of the site name and my e-mail address and username. "Rebellious Jukebox" is a song by The Fall of their fantastic second album Dragnet (1979). The Fall is a shockingly unique and enduring punk/post-punk/pop group that has produced an obscene amount of mostly great material over the past 30+ plus years, an all time favorite of mine. Frontman Mark E. Smith is as iconic as Read more:Strange

Site Created 2008-05-17 20:13:00 So I finally decided that I need to start a blog. I've just got too many opinions to keep my mouth shut. I think I will primary be writing about music on this site. I am a serious music addict and can't seem to live without a steady influx of new music and sound (and maybe a little noise too) to keep myself occupied. I live in small town Massachusetts USA and don't find many people who are into th
